It’s quite a nice little climb with plenty of shade. It’s what you’d call a gentle climb – nowhere is it steep, nor are there any particularly steep gradients. I climbed it on my MTB with two chainrings at the front and never had to switch to the small chainring. At the top, you come out onto a sort of plateau, with a short descent first, followed by another gentle climb. There are often fast French cars on the col.... read more

Best een leuk klimmetje met regelmatig schaduw. Het is wat men noemd een lichte loper die nergens steil is of uitspringende percentages.
Ik heb hem met mijn MTB met 2 tandwielen vooraan beklommen en ben nooit op de kleine plateau geweest. Bovenaan kom je op een soort plateau terecht met eerst een korte afdaling en dan terug licht klimwerk. Welk regelmatig snelle Franse auto's op de col.
